Wondered why my copy of the Control Resonant steelbook never arrived - called Amazon, they just ran out of stock and couldn't fulfil my order, a pre-order I made months ago... Feeling really mad about this

It's kind of insane just how many references there are in Control Resonant - you think previous remedy games have worn their inspirations on their sleeves, you're not even ready

Played some Fright Train this week - a new survival horror release that almost passed me by and I feel people are sleeping on! It's got a really great inventory and reloading system, a cartoony visual style and a real sense of what makes the genre great - with a roguelike twist!

Thoughts on #residentevil? As everyone is and will be saying, it's great - Cregger dials up the humour to create an atmosphere that lets the viewer accept the insane things that get put on screen, it's got great music, a rock-solid script that starts at full speed and never slows down, and is FUN!

unbreakable locks on doors, accidentally wasting scarce ammo, someone in a high-emotion situation deciding to create a voice log of the situation for people to find...

It perfectly feels like it exists within that universe without treating the audience like children and jangling keys in their face - 'look, thing you recognise!' And at the end of the day - what would be the point of a movie that just re-hashes what's already in the games?

It perfectly captures the feeling of playing the games without treating you like a moron, In fact a lot of the jokes entirely rely on experiences that are only relatable if you've played the games -

The most random double bill of my life at Bristol Megascreen, but a great night out - Gorgo (1961) followed by The Lighthouse (2019) Couldn't be more tailored to me Especially appreciated the great intro to Gorgo by @stevensloss.bsky.social - definitely had me approaching the film differently

Just saw the final version of this and it's one of the best things we've made as a team - I hope everyone can tune in later!!

On this day ten years ago everyone with a smartphone became a Pokรฉmon trainer with the release of the GPS-powered AR-enhanced Pokรฉmon Go

Changing it from a temporary and hard-earned ultimate was always underwhelming, having it function as a toggle almost gives the feeling of having a mech suit, I can finally see builds based around werewolf being not only viable but fun! The new visual design and reworked animations are also great.

i am become linux user, juicer of tarballs

the final insult of AI is going to be forcing us all to become linux guys. we're all going to be like oh yeah downloading stuff on linux is super easy you just juice the tarball and compile the pulp in the sudo command line. not like windows where you have to click on things

Letterboxd is in trouble! No matter your thoughts on the site, it ending up in the hands of users instead of some awful company or corporation would mean losing an undoubtedly impactful and important part of the current film culture and community Be sure to sign up!!! share.google/CHig4j3XlcyE...

share.googleLetterboxd is for sale! Let's buy Letterboxd!!Seriously folks, now is the time to put the tools in our own hands. It can be done, and will be done -- with your help.

Still thinking about MetalNeck's Godzilla: Black Mass weeks after reading it, my mind has been drifting into what I'd want to do with a film adaptation and what that'd look like - easily one of my favorite pieces of fan media I've ever engaged with, it's so good - can't wait to see more
